NASA uses satellite instruments to track Earth's subsystems - the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and cryosphere - to learn how they interact and how they affect climate. This 5-minute video introduces the tools NASA uses to gather...(View More) data about those subsystems, then explains how analysis and visualization of that data can be used to create mathematical models for predicting weather and climate. NASA eClips™ are short, relevant educational video segments. The Real World series of NASA eClips™ connects classroom mathematics to 21st century careers and innovations and are designed to encourage an appreciation for mathematics through real-world problem-solving.(View Less)
